Cool - but of course I want MORE videos from more of you, please :-) I
will brush up on my technique and post more here myself.
I don't do motorkhanas (hooning around the cones in a car park) myself
but many of my fellow club members do (actually I have a second-place
trophy from a national competition that I entered because every entry
gave our club/State an extra "team" point). Believe it or not I wince
at doing so many revs in first gear - valve bounce is not my favourite
rev-limiter.
Besides, the minis and the mini-moke and "special" motorkhana cars do it
too well. The 'B has not quite got the same turning circle not the
grunt to keep the wheels spinning during those speccy handbrake turns :-)
More videos people, please!
